You ask me why / am silent
And tears are in my eyes.
Look yonder at that little grave;
There all nay Joy lies.
Buried deep meath the daisies
Ny little one is at rest
Do you ask me now, kind friend,
Why sorrow fills my breast?
Do you ask me why am weeping
Do you wonder | do not smile?
SO long it seems since baby died,
Yet tbs only little while
But nv heart is almost breaking,
And try in vain TO be brave,
For all my hopes are buried
Deep in that little grave
Soon / shall 90 and meet her
In the beautiful realms above;
know my darling awaits me,
Pure as a snow-white dove.
That, indeed, is blessed thought,
Tho tears will I'll my eyes,
Whenever | look at that little grave
Where my babe in heaven lies.

She Must Come

If the performance of the marriage
ceremony In civilized lands is often at
tended by ltidicroits incidents, what
must be the exp eriences of the minister
who presides over community OF peo-
pie born to primitive customs? The
late British cohsul at Samoa says
that missionary there was one day
visited by gentle-looking youth, the
son of British Il sident in the islands,
who asked, "Please, sit, may | get
married :"
A day was appointed for the cere,
mony when, at the Tina named, ap-
peared the youthful bridegroom, look
ing neat, shy and guileless; he was
asked to take a seat and did SC,
blushlng vigorously. A quarter o. an
hour elapsed, and there were no fresh
arrivals; yet there sat our friend,
without the slightest show of that im-
patience usually attributed to gentle
men about to take the fatal plunge.
AT last the missionary became inn
patient, and asked him where she was
staying.
"Who?" said the youth.
"Why, the girl YOU want to marry"
ION, she's at Safata"
what cried the minister, "have
you come here for me to marry you TO
woman sixteen miles eff ontiia other
side of the islands,?
Yes" replied the innocent: 81
didn't think you would want her"
He was sent away to fetch her, and
IN the course OF g. week returned to %

form.

PeriIous work ON Great Bridges.

-.
sin u lecture given at Dundee, scot
land, Mr.. Baker, one of the Forth
Bridge engineers, tells fine story Of
modern heroism, says the St. James
Gazette. Six men were one day
working at the bridge, standing on
plank 14O feet above the sea level
One OF the hooks supporting tae plank
gave way. With great presence of
mind three of the men sprang at the
steel works of the bridge and held on;
fourth Owed, was rescued, ard, it
may be added incidentally, almost
immediately resumed work. OF the
three hangl G to the eteelwork by the
arms, two were in particular danger;
yet when the rescue party reached the
first OF them, all he said was, Il can
hold on; go to the other man; he is
dazed.' In all, thirty-fve men have
lost their lives during the five years
the bridge has been building, and p
300 is the average number of work
men employed at time. Mr.. Baker
says that though many superior
workmen were needed, there was no
lack of then. AS for the magnitude
OF the undertaking, 'as q grenadier
guardsman is to a new born infant, so
is the Forth bridge to the largest
bridge yet built in Great Britain"

Pretol, a celebrated French veterinary
surgeon, considers that we carry the groom
lug of horses TO excess, and so make the m
delicate. He does not advocate neglect of
cleanliness, but thinks that too much ex-
element OF the skin makes the horse sus-
ceptible to catching diseases by destroying
the equilibrium which ought to reign be-
tween the functions. There is little doubt
that many of ont city horses are injured by
being pampered and oyer-groomed.
